Gosh I cannot believe that my little man is 19 weeks old. He eats 5 cups a day and has lost all of his puppy teeth...thank goodness! He loves playing in the leaves and digging holes in the yard. My parents and brother came up from Florida to finally meet him, they were in love. Charley now has a dog bed, which he is still getting used to. Cannot wait for his first snowfall and to see him opening his gifts on Christmas morning.

Does Charlie sleep in a kennel at night or just on his bed? As we approach getting a new lad, I am not sure whether to have a "den" built in case he needs for a long time or what. Our house is an open concept and any puppy dens would be the bathroom or mud room which are not very large and no windows.. What do you do for Charley
